About PwC Kenya Services: Advisory: Transactions: Structuring page
Our dedicated structuring experts advise on designing the optimal deal structure
and how to effect transactions. The team provides solutions to support a broad
range of transactions, including acquisitions, divestments, IPOs, PFI/PPP bids,
group reorganisations, financial restructurings and strategic alliances.
The team starts by looking closely at the specific transaction objectives to
be achieved. These are balanced with the relevant accounting, tax, regulatory
and commercial considerations to provide you with the optimal deal structure.
Potential issues
You may be contemplating a particular transaction, such as:
- IPO (pre-IPO capital reorganisation, distributable reserves planning, method
for achieving exit for current shareholders)
- PFI/PPP bid
- Return of value/surplus cash
- A demerger
- Refinancing/securitisation
- Group reorganisation
Or you may be concerned to address specific issues, such as
- Distributable reserves shortfall (eg due to impairment, pension deficit,
consequence of accounting under IFRS)
- Improving the efficiency of your legal entity group structure
How we can support you

that will ultimately determine the appropriate structure/route to be followed
- We will present you with a number of alternative feasible routes for achieving
your objective, taking into account accounting, tax, legal and shareholder
considerations
- This initial feasibility review will be followed by detailed analysis to
confirm the preferred solution, and we will provide ongoing support through
the implementation stage
